    She notably initiated and led the creation of the Gastronomy Festival (La Fête de la Gastronomie), which brought together over 12,000 events annually across France and internationally within a three-day span.

    Sophie Le Bouleise – Cuisine et gastronomie: de nouvelles compétences pour le Ministère de la Culture ? (Watch from 6:25)

    Defining Moments

    1. The Conscious Responsibility of Advising
    During an official mission to Georgia, she was unexpectedly invited to a private meeting with the Ministers of Agriculture and Tourism. Asked for her opinion on a shift toward intensive agriculture, she realized the weight of her words, perceived as representing the voice of France. Rather than issuing a directive, she shared the French experiences – its gains in productivity but also its ecological consequences – and concluded: “Don’t repeat our mistake; let our history guide yours.”
    This moment reshaped her public speaking approach: choosing words with care, transmitting knowledge without ego, and always allowing others the space to reflect and decide freely.

    2. Every Role Matters
    During a family trip to Nepal, she arrived in Kathmandu amidst a sanitation workers’ strike. Faced with a city overwhelmed by waste, she understood a simple yet powerful truth: those in the most invisible roles can be the most essential. This experience forever shifted her view of leadership – no organization or nation can succeed without recognizing the value of each contribution, from the ground up. Since then, she has been dedicated to fostering balanced cooperation and honoring the role of every individual.
